The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine is offering a new
short course on Methods for addressing selection bias in health economic
evaluation ( http://www.lshtm.ac.uk/prospectus/short/smasbee.html ). The
course will be taught in London by LSHTM health economists and
statisticians from the Faculty of Public Health and Policy and the LSHTM
Centre for Statistical Methodology. ( http://csm.lshtm.ac.uk/ )
This course offers an in-depth description of methods for addressing
treatment selection bias. These methods include regression, propensity
score matching and a novel approach that extends propensity score
matching, Genetic Matching.
There is a strong emphasis on applying the methods in practice, with
practical sessions illustrating how to implement each technique using
readily available software.
The course is aimed at health economists or statisticians with an
interest in health economic evaluation. It is envisaged that
participants will be interested in undertaking or interpreting
cost-effectiveness analyses that use observational data. Further details
